A flood shut my school today

Several schools in my area have shut down today after major flooding issues from the storm yesterday evening. Many places were flooded including several roads, causing issues with transport and road closures, especially in the south of the city, where I live. 

The storm yesterday consisted of pelting rain, claps of thunder and flashes of lightning. The rain started as I was on my way home, it got very heavy as I got off my bus and walked back to my house. It only got worse after that and my school had to cancel the Y11 parents evening - which was a shame, but I didn't go anyway.
There is a river by my school which must've overflowed and it doesn't help that my school is very old and has issues with the buildings especially when there are storms. I wouldn't doubt that the drains overflowed inside the school. I'm not sure of the exact details of the floodage in my school. They announced that we should assume they're open on Monday 30th unless otherwise stated. 

This does give me more time to revise though, so its not the end of the world :)
